Just over a year ago I discovered Essie brand nail polish and instantly fell in love. What began with two colours has grown into a substantial collection. My nails are rarely bare these days.

Why Essie? It was all over Pintrist and so I just decided to try it one day. The colour went on nice and their Go To Go top coat is the best ever. Unless I do dishes or wash floors or do harsher-on-hands work it can last up to four days quite nicely. However I often get bored after two or three days and change it up whether my nails need it or not. To keep it simple I decided to stick with Essie, otherwise I'd just confuse myself with too many choices.

There are many nail polish obsessed based blogs (www.essieenvy.com is one) out there and I actually read them (nerdy, I know) before I consider buying a new colour. At $8 a bottle Essie ain't cheap. I'm not into analyzing the formula and comparing colours and all that, I'll leave that for the other blogs. I'll likely just post a picture with a brief opinion and be done.

This colour here is called 'Jamaican Me Crazy'. You can see a bright orange sale tag peaking out and that means I got this one for $5. It's a great, rich, deep, pink that went on nice and easy. It's a little too purple toned to match all my pink clothes which just means that I need to add to my collection!

How to introduce myself in a few words....well, my names is Carla. I am married to Trevor, and he's pretty awesome. I have two kids, Sierra (b. 2007) and Sawyer (b. 2010), they're pretty awesome too I live in a small town in Southern Alberta. I work outside the home part-time and inside the home full time. I have an obsession with painted nails, eyeglasses, and matching outfits.I'm a coffee and wine snob (no home brew or Folgers please!)I am also focused on exercise and being healthy and enjoying it. (no crazy 'diets' for me)Awhile back I realized that I have not been living as the genuine me. I had begun to act like someone else, someone I thought people wanted to me to be. That disturbed me. I vowed to rediscover me. The real me. This space is ME being honest and expressing myself about my day to day life with day to day ups and downs.
